Course Description:
Late Antiquities covers a 460-year period from 70-630 CE which began with the destruction of the Second Temple and continued until the rise of Islam. During this period Rabbinic Judaism emerged, and sectarianism waned (e.g., Priests, Sadducees, Pharisees, Essenes). Prominent Jewish figures arose whose attributions appear in the Rabbinic Writings to be unpacked in this course. We will examine five of those figures – all who contributed to the preservation of a New Judaism alongside Yeshua believing Jews.

Class One: Introduction to Late Antiquities and the two surviving movements: Rabbinic & Messianic
Class Two: Rabbi Yochanon ben Zakkai, “founder” of Rabbinic Judaism and his enduring legends
Class Three: Rabban Gamliel II, patriarch and grandson of Gamliel of the New Testament and his influence
Class Four: Eliezer ben Harkanas, prominent rabbi who was banned, perhaps because of his relationship to a disciple of Yeshua
Class Five: Rabbi Akivah, who reputedly dubbed bar Kokhba as Messiah
Class Six: Judah haNassi: The final editor of the Mishnah, which answered the question for the bulk of Jewry: How must we now live without a Temple for sacrifices.
